Verb games
VERB WHEELS
Buy or make wheels or spinners with a different subject on each slice of the pie. Students play in
groups. Each one spins the wheel and draws a vocabulary card. They must give the correct verb form
for the subject and verb. With more advanced classes this can be made more complicated by the
addition of an extra set of cards which give clues for the subjunctive (Its important that ) or a past
tense (Frequently ), etc. At all levels you can encourage/insist that they make additions for more
interesting sentences. (Not just: We speak. but We speak Russian. Or instead of Its important that
we speak., Its important that we speak with the teacher before leaving school.)
DICE GAME
If you dont have wheels, you can do almost the same activities using dice. Each number on the die
represents one subject pronoun. (1 = yo, je; 2 = t, tu, etc.) Students draw a verb card with an infinitive
or a picture, roll the die, and then give the correct form of the verb.
BATTLESHIP
Each partner has a grid with subjects and infinitives. Each hides 3-5 ships on the grid. The ships are of
various sizes:
submarine = 2 spaces (diagonal, horizontal, vertical)
destroyer = 3 spaces
battleship = 4 spaces
aircraft carrier = 5 spaces
The students write the verb forms in their selected spaces. The object is to find the opponents navy. If
they select any square which does not have part of the navy and give a correct form, it is a miss. If they
give an incorrect form, no matter where it is, it is a misfire. If they select the correct square and give the
correct form, it is a hit. They must hit all of the squares which make up the ship in order to sink it.
CONNECT FOUR
This game can be played with the same grid as Battleship, but this time you use only one paper for two
people (or three if the numbers are odd). The students take turns writing verb forms in the blanks with
the object of getting four in a row. Of course, they will do their best to block the opponents. If they think
their opponent has an incorrect form, they may challenge and use their books. If they are right, the
opponent loses a turn. If the verb form was correct, the challenger loses a turn. More than one game can
be played on the same grid. (Thanks to Abby Dealing)
VERB RACE
Create two identical verb grids on the board, infinitives across the top and subjects down the sides.
Divide the class into two teams. Give them a time limit (5 minutes works fairly well, but I adjust so
they have time to get most of the forms but not all.) Give the first student in each group a white board
marker or piece of chalk. They are to run to the board where they can write any one form they wish.
They do not have to go in order. Then they pass the marker to the next person on the team who also will
write one form. If a student makes a mistake, another student may correct it but then may not write a
new form. At the end of the designated time, the team with the most perfect verbs wins. You can say
that calling out the answers to their teammates is cheating, but Im inclined to ignore it, because I like to
have them all involved, and they are learning.

Filmstrip
Template
Ideas
1. Longer filmstrip: Give each
student two strips which can
be taped together to form a
10-12 frame filmstrip. You can
also make three copies of this
page and then hand paste a
legal size template with three
longer strips.
2. Short filmstrip: Use this
template as is: Each student
produces a short 6-frame
filmstrip. Save paper by
pasting a third strip over
these directions.
3. Be creative! With the help
of your copy machine, you can
enlarge these to any size.
(Keep in minds, though, that
the small size of the filmstrip
makes this project seem doable even for non-artists.)
4. Plastic filmstrip: To show
filmstrips on an overhead
projector you will need a
plastic fi1mstrip. Use a
Thermofax machine or make
an overhead transparency with
your copier. Permanent color
markers can be used to draw
the pictures. Transparent tape
works well to connect strips.
